This board is bullshit!!!!

[ultragainz]

Yea some of you guys are wondering why ultragainz is saying this board sucks huh..first lets go back a couple of years..yea the golden years...no bullshit post most people on this board didnt ask dumbass Q's...know half the people on this board are morons...yea i said morons...want me to say more?YES ultragainz please go right ahead and tell the truth...everyday we have bullshit post..for example #1.my dick grows on test...LIKE anyone gives 2 shits about your dick.....#2.everyone fighting and ripping on each other.....little jackasses coming on this board and talking shit...this board is a joke...its sad George let the board go down hill...but maybe it isnt his fault..too many jackasses on this board for someone to handle...why not just get rid of the dumbasses?...get more strict....go over to anabolicfitness oh yea a great board almost like the golden years =)...iam pretty sure you have to apply to get on that board...so no moron wont just come on the board and turn it into elite...so why not change some things around like the new people that want to join the board have them apply...so no one can just come on to the board..see what they know about juice and and so on...this board still got hope to get everything back together..some of the mods dont even post here anymore.....so lets face it...why is this board still going some what good....yea wondering why?its cause some of the mods/vets on this board....we have some of the best mods out there..so why not just have everyone apply again?and the ones that get kicked off wont know who booted them off...so no one has to worry about them going crazy cause there off the board..cause they wont know.just my 2cents

sorry i didnt type this good..but i type like this online..it could of been typed better but F* it....your getting my point

and anabolicfitness shits on this board...once again this board is still some what good cause of the mods/vets.....if they left like some of the mods this board would be junk...so make everything more strict......if not its cool i dont care

 

[Hollywood ultragainz]

yep this board has gone down over the last couple of years...its time to get everything back up...so who wants to join the WolfPac (iam the leader) and we can kick the moron's off the board....

 

[mvmaxx]

I agree it's gotten out of hand lately. I vote to let the mods start initiating a 30day ban. If you ask too many dumbass questions and you've repeatedly been told to do a search, you're banned for 30days. If you talk shit about another member and continually waste board space, gone 30days.

I've been over to some of the other boards and they just move soooo damn slow.

 

[CrimsonKing]

Something has to be done... Content in going down hill, system response time sucks, etc. etc.

 

[The Almighty]

Its true, however it is inevitable with the number of people that visit this board each day that we have threads and posts that we feel do not belong here. I dont think, however, that banning people is justifiable when they ask questions, even if the questions have been answered a hundred times over, because that is what the board is made for, correct?

The flaming is another story. There is a difference between saying "please do a search" and "do a fuckin search you fuckin cocksucker moron, this question has been answered a thousand fuckin times" etc. In my opinion those are the people who make this board go downhill more than any others.

 

[Golfer18--old]

Some mods dont post.......

and some threads are bullshit like the KJ murder one.....i would have banned the guy for starting that thread.

 

[HighIntensity]

thanks to test my dick is 20inchs long

nah good points, but there are alot of kiss asses on here

 

[boss]

just wondering how long you were here cause you reg. date is only 2 months ago? how would you know what it was like a few years ago? did you have a different name?

 

[DiaBOLic86]

I've definately noticed that the board has slowed since I joined about a year and a half ago. But i think that this board still isn't that bad. I'll admit there are some dumb posts, but a lot of them are still good. Almost all posts are on something that has been posted before, but they were long enough ago that people forgot.

 

[mvmaxx]

just wondering how long you were here cause you reg. date is only 2 months ago? how would you know what it was like a few years ago? did you have a different name?

Yes Hollywood, you are just a newbie therefore your opinion does not matter.

 

[boss]

also i have noticed that alot of kids are here under the age of 18.......now i dont agree with that.......i think one kid gets on here and then they talk about it at school and bam then they are all here. thats where we get all the repeat questions and all the dumb ass answers......i have seen some guys answere questions and a week later ask the same damn question.......go figure

 

[Greek Freak]

I am new to the board but I have been on others for a long time. Judging from what I have read so far I would say your def. right and some ppl need to do a little more reading. I am no expert but I at least try and research or figure something out myself before I would post a thread about it.(although I did not word something properly once and someone asked me to do a search, it was about weed and bodybuilding...I didnt mean about smoking before/after you lift, my friend smoked about once a day and kept asking me how it was affecting his diet and strength gains and all I could find was that prolonged use might lower test levels so I put a post up on here seeing if anyone else had some articles.) I dont know, so far I have learned some things off the board and it seems to be alright but I have seen things go downhill and you really do have to do something before it gets too far so I am glad that a veteran(ultragainz and others) said something so hopefully the board can continue to be very informational or get better(back to how it was..but i woudnt know, i am a "newbie").

 

[CrimsonKing]

Bro's - I have an idea on this one...

Setup additonal folders like a tree format. 1 folder is a FAQ folder for newbies. Another folder is for Polls, Cycles, Research Info, How-To's, etc...

Some folders would be read only.. Other would be open... THat way folks could have quicker access to the data without having to search

OR

Extensivlly improve the search function to allow more complex search patterns and data gathering capabilities... Too many people fail to read good post because the look away from the thread title that may be odd or mis-leading...

 

[ultragainz]

Hollywood ultragainz is me(some people dont know that)....i made that name not long ago..so i have two names..i used to be on the board long ago before 2000 but never posted back then...my bro was on here before i ever was had a name but he never posted just used this board to get info..and i have seen this board go from good to bad over the years..never knew it would be this bad

 

[gilly6993-recreatedbygeorge]

Now I haven't been here for years but I can say that the board has gone way down hill in only the past couple of months......

 

[str8cubano]

i haven't been on this board long enough, but i do notice that everdya there are more and more people..there are like a million people on this board...and only few that i take advice from

 

[Andy13]

I've been saying over and over--- Do not answer newbie questions! All we have to do is refer newbies to the search engine a few times and they will learn.. But no.. What do we do? We answer their question..

This is a discussion board.. Not where you learn the utter basics of AAS and bbing.. These newbies are too fucking lazy.. And as long as we keep humoring these guys.. Nothing is going to change.

Andy

 

[gilly6993-recreatedbygeorge]

One more thing......the big problem I see is newbies giving advice to newbies because they "read" it on another thread......

 

[RADAR]

I hear ya ultra..i used to be on here every nite for hrs now i might come on twice a week a glance over the threads, the board used to be good now it doesn't matter if you're a vet the advice or experience i give out don't mean shit!!! At least thats how i percieve it! RADAR

 

[MadCow1]

Now I haven't been here for years but I can say that the board has gone way down hill in only the past couple of months......

Traffic is down - many posts are stupid or worthless. This has definitely been the trend over the past months.

Other than the bullshit bickering the only irritation I find is when people answer questions with incorrect information - like "you lose all your gains from dbol" and "all oral cycles are bad because you can't keep the gains". I could continue to list the bullshit posts concerning deca, minimum dosages, and other stuff.

The crux is people with no experience repeating statements gleaned from other posts (made from people with no experience or knowledge). People need to be more careful about the information they provide. Then again if there wasn't the useless posts and the quoting of inaccurate steroid rhetoric the board traffic would further decrease. The irony.

I hear you RADAR. Me and You registered around the same time, and i can tell you there are some guys that have been on the board for like 5 months with like 5000 posts, and most of them come form the chat board. Not to say they aren't expereinced bodybuilders, but i know some don't know whats going on. I use to be addicted to the board too, but i don't go on everdya as i used to. Like i said, when i joined, there were some good guys that i know will always help me out and i owe a lot too...and those guys are few..

 

[SirWanksalot]

No more ALA / creatine / protein powder / ProHormone threads in the anabolic area - MODS should immediately move these suppliments discusions to the suppliment area.

I think it's lazy housekeeping first and foremost

Also. it always seems boring when FONZ is not around, he always has something interesting to post insuring lively debate

 

[Amp]

2 years ago when I was 13 and just started lifting this was a great place for info and I was able to really put together some good cycles with the help of some bros. now 2 years later and much wiser I don't read anything new or beneficial.

just my too sense

 

[BigBazooka]

.know half the people on this board are morons...yea i said morons...want me to say more?YES ultragainz please go right ahead and tell the truth..

Dude. YOU are the same moron, who injected 100 IU's of FAST ACTING INSULIN IN ONE INJECTION! You bitched about dying and shit and still you have the balls to post shit like this. People learn stuff, my bastard friend.


EDIT: OH, SORRY. It WAS Lawnsaver and NOT Ultragainz.

 

[BigBazooka]

Bwaaaaah. Mr. Ultragainz here also said that "Nolvadex contains LASIX"!!!!!! Bwaaaahahaha! Now THAT'S some funny shit! He actually said that! Not that "tamoxifen contains furosemide" would have sounded better, but the fact that someone claims that some drug contains A BRAND OF SOME OTHER DRUG is just plain stupid.



You sir, are my idol!

 

[Frackal]

To be honest these posts come around every month or so.... it's always "oh this board's really going down hill..." "george what's wrong with you.."

In serious, there IS a genuine and massive difference from 2 years ago until now, on the AAS board and the chatboard...the AAS board is filled with not just newbies, but pure ignoramuses and the chatboard is filled with fucking psychotics. ..

.,And I'm filled with primoteston...

 

[IronKop77]

I miss the old days when I posted a question it got answered accurately without all kidns of newbie bullshit responses. Ive been reading the board since the original format some 2.5 yrs ago and Ive been a member for almost 2 years now and it is definately going downhill in exponential proportions. I wish I had the cash to go platinum so i didnt have to weed through heaps of bs to find some good reads that i could learn from.
I would also like to thank all vets and mods that STILL put up with all this. Having you guys at my disposal to toss questions out at is a privelage we all need to be thankful we have.

 

[TEXASAMM]

Yeah I remember that lasix/nolva incident.That was pretty funny.Oh yeah and the primo plus one as well.Let's see I think it was lawnsaver that injected 1 ml of slin though.

But I could see Ultranuts' doing it too.I remember his first post over at AF telling everyone there how popular he is and suggesting we make him a mod.Then cried all the way back to EF because E2 laughed at him.

Oh Ultra you're my hero too.

and thats the bottom line... game over ...Remember that crap?

 

[Riker29]

I agree.

One problem I see is the ridiculous amount of off-topic posts.

This is an Anabolic Board. Period.

All of these posts about clubs, clothes, jokes, whining about your girlfriend, questions about ab rollers, questions about the "fitness model" look, all of this has NO PLACE here.

I am constantly trying to get this point across and I get newbie kiddie dumbasses slamming ME for it. Here I am putting myself out there for the integrity of this board, and I have newbie dumbasses who get pissed because I dont treat the board like a 12-step program.

I understand that people's dog's die, that chicks give guys problems, the dudes get in bar fights, but this board is NOT the place for it.

On any given day, at any given time, a good 25-40% of threads on this board have nothing to do with anabolics. Thats even if you allow a "generous" definition, allowing things like GBL and supplements to be asked about.

I wonder a LOT, about why the mods do not move more of this "off-topic" crap to the chat board - I really do. IMHO, THAT is one of the PRIME responsibilities of being a mod. Not to bitch abotu mods, a lot of them are cool guys. I Mod a Seduction email list and its not an easy job.

IMHO the fact that so much CRAP is tolerated .... is the problem.

If a post is NOT on-topic, it should be moved or deleted. Period.

If someone acts like an idiot, warn him once. If he gets out of line again -KICK HIS ASS OFF THE BOARD.

 

[ironmaster]

Personally, if I want intellectual discourse, I go over to AF.......if I want entertained, I come here. No big deal, just click the mouse buttons if you don't like the topics de jour.
Good point though.......we have a blue million moderators, we ought to have no problem moving off-topic and repetitive shit off the AS board, which is the only site on EF that interests me.
Ultra has wanted to be a mod for a long time.....and he'd be good at moving this stuff....c'mon George.....if not ultra, then his sophisticated twin, hollywood.......

 

[onemind]

Look here you people think your so great I saw a person on this thread include one of my ? as being stupid and that pissed me off if you don't like the ? don't answer it and if this board isn't cool enough for you anymore just leave you should support newbies and if you don't like thier advice ignore you peolpe think your so great and I am not trying to be disrespect full but on almost every post I read you people turn it in to an arguement instead of trying to help the person out or trying to answer the ? so maybe its yourselfves you should take a look at and like I said if you think your to good go somewhere else

[Sexual Mustard]

and I say we ban any member who inquire whether Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise juices. This is a hardcore board, for fuck's sake.

 

[HansNZ]

I just want to make a few points:

1. Maybe some newbies haven't noticed that there is a serach function. Maybe this feature needs to be highlighted and its function explained in some way to draw attention to it when you first come to the board.

2. Secondly the search function is frustrating. I will look for information I know I have read but have little luck finding it.

3. Thirdly, this is a free borad. If you want an elitist discussion forum with limited access for people with considerable knowledge already, then such a site would probably need to charge subscriptions to be viable. I am sure such a forum is available somewhere, or if not, could be established.

4. A board like this would die if it wasn't for newbies joining it regularly. I stumbled across it accidentally a few years ago and would never have joined had it been a subscription site. At that point I wouldn't have been aware of how useful the information I have learned here has become.

5. Ultimately the people who can most benefit from this forum are people who know little about steroids. So newbie questions, and what might appear silly ideas to someone with knowledge, are important.

6. You don't have to open a thread, just ignore it.

7. I rarely go to other discussion boards, so I think people post on here because it's the only place with a decent amount of traffic.

btw, For those complaining about threads being in the wrong forum, this thread is not a discussion of anabolics either.

Just my 2 cents.

 

[galaxy]

Correct me if Im wrong, but without the repeated questions there would be no search engine...Oh, and Ultra you should stick to your ultra cycles and not go getting all political on us......gal

Well, your comments are hipocritical at best. One statement you say we are lazy housekeepers and the next say fonz posts good stuff (which he does of course) but dont forget a few of the best threads lately by fonz were about ala.

I agree but lets look back to last night as an example of what a mod has to deal with and the backlash of a moved/locked or deleted post. Last night there was a little episode where someone called another member out. I saw it as childish and off topic and locked the thread. Next the person who was attacked started his own thread in rebuttal. I tried to stear the thread down a somewhat educational yet off topic path but it fell on deaf ears so I locked it. Next we have someone else chiming in about the threads I locked with further insults. I replied and locked it only to spur on another thread asking if personal opinions werent allowed etc, it was just his way of trying to be a tough ass and showing everyone he will stand up to a mod, even if he has no point to make.

If we locked/deleted/moved every thread that should be it would likey triple traffic and that traffic would all be bullshit posts about why a thread got locked or deleted.

The main reason a lot of the old mods and guru's dont post here anymore is because the vets of yesteryear have been replaced by guys with 4000 posts who do nothing put piss and moan, dont follow the rules, make snide comments, insult newbies and the list goes on. These people are setting the tone for the board which a lot of new members follow. If the user base wants someone to blame for the current condition of the board, take a long hard look in the mirror.

 

[alien amp pharm]

I agree that there are a lot of B.S. threads (hell, i've had a couple) and these need to be kept to a minimum. A little humor is good though - it doesn't always have to be so serious.

As for "newbies" giving advice, granted some people just repeat info they see someone else say and some don't know what the hell they are talking about, but just because some of us are fairly new to THIS BOARD doesn't mean we all are ignorant and unexperienced. I have experienced a few things concerning AAS in my life and I will give advice on related topics. I never try to give advice I'm unsure of. Others need to do the same.

Using the search button sucks ass sometimes. Granted just about anything you want to know you can find, but the search function is slow as crap. And the more people we have, the slower it gets.

Overall this is an excellent board IMO.

Couldnt agree more Zyg, since I've been coming back to this board I see all these guys that signed up a month or two ago and have 5000 posts. Not that some don't have some useful knowledge, but its just become a post race to comment on or bump everything to get their totals up. I believe it should be based on how long you've been here and how much useful knowledge you've donated. Thanks

 

[gUiLe]

I've been saying over and over--- Do not answer newbie questions! All we have to do is refer newbies to the search engine a few times and they will learn.. But no.. What do we do? We answer their question.. Andy

I TOTALLY agree with you on that one! The worst part about it
is you have newbie's answering other newbies. It's all a big
game to these idiot's. They want to have the most post's or
the most karma. These fuckheads think it's a videogame or
some shit.

I guess if you dont like this board, there is no reason to come here. This is a free country, and you can easily start your own message board. The software is free, and you can probably find a very cheap hosting service as well, so there's no need to complain.

I just registered at AnabolicFitness. I'm waiting for approval from the Administrator just to see how great it is, like you said. But in my opinion, it probably sees the same amount of bullshit this place does.

[Zyglamail]

AF like many of the smaller board has very little if any bullshit. I give em props for running a tight ship and post there as well.

This board simply has HUGE amounts of traffic, easily 5-10 times that of any other board and any time you have that much traffic and that many people comming together you are going to have differences in opnion etc.

This is the reason I did what I did last night.. even though I regret it and frankly I don't know why I posted that in the first place..

I just try to spend a lot of time answering the questions a choose to answer rather than shooing off someone with a capitalized snide response.. It's not fair to the newbies...

Sorry for the post last night guys, guess it shows my age.. I'm a 21 yr old kid lashing out at my demons from bieng bullied in high school and carrying around 33% bodyfat, but at least I try to help when I can

I generally consider myself as pretty level headed and thick skinned but I still lose my cool on occasion as does everyone.

As a mod though, I can tell you it sucks being in the middle because we have to be the bad guys and delete/lock threads, however in doing so we are often looked donw upon as being nazi's for stiffling free speach and in turn while simply trying to do our jobs (unpaid volunteer jobs I might add) we end being ridiculed and spur on even more useless garbage threads which in turn piss even more people off. We are damned if we do and damned if we dont.

Having siad all that I would like to reiterate that the tone and maturity of this board is not just the responsibility of the mods (after all, we can only do so much) but the responsibility of all the members as well. If you dont like what you see, set an example for others to follow.

 

[Silent Method]

I didn't read this whole thread, so I may be repeating some ideas here.

I do think that there are alot of wasteful BS post on this board. When you've got the best board around, word gets out and everyone wants a piece. Unfortunately, not everyone has a brain.

First let me say that the "Anabolic Discussion Board" should be pretty open for a wide variety of topics.

There are a couple ways we should start handling BS posts.

#1 - *If it's a stupid question, answer it or direct the person to an answer.
*Politely explain that such questions are a waste of space in this forum.
*After that one reply, no one else reply (or flame) - let that sucker drop into oblivion.

#2 - If it's an inflammatory post or an obvious prankster, DO NOT REPLY - let that sucker drop into oblivion.

#3 - Debate is great. Flaming is a waste of space.

#4 - I do think mods should take a greater role in removing wasteful threads as they start - while taking the time to contact the poster to explain why the thread was removed, the point of the board, and the role of the search function.

I tried that last night and for each one I took care of 2 more popped up becuse of me locking the thread in question. So how do we handle that?

Nothing you can do about that.. besides ban the posters, but I'd rather stay .


You guys should make a forum called "bad posts" and move everything that sucks there so people can keep it up out of sight from everyone else if they choose to do so..

 

[Riker29]

7. I rarely go to other discussion boards, so I think people post on here because it's the only place with a decent amount of traffic.

btw, For those complaining about threads being in the wrong forum, this thread is not a discussion of anabolics either.

Just my 2 cents.

Point 1 - Yes, guys post here becuase there is a lor more traffic than other boards.

If people posted in the CORRECT board (like posted there ab roller questions elsehwree for example) then those other boards would start to get MORE traffic! Again, a good 25-40% of posts from this board could be movbed to the chat board, which would incvrease the chat board traffic a LOT.

Point 2- I agree. If however this thread helps to clean thinsg up in the future, it is worth it.


Frankly I see a lot of respected names agreeing with this thread's points. Most of the whiners I see are newbies who do not want to do the work to post in the right place, search and really TRY to learn before posting, and who want to hide their insecurities by acting like hard-asses.

I agree but lets look back to last night as an example of what a mod has to deal with and the backlash of a moved/locked or deleted post. Last night there was a little episode where someone called another member out. I saw it as childish and off topic and locked the thread. Next the person who was attacked started his own thread in rebuttal.

Ok, when someoen does shit like that, KICK HIM OFF THE BOARD. PERIOD.

Ban him, boot him., kick his ass OFF!

I agree with you, there are a lot of wittle boys out there who whine when they dont get there way ..... SO

KICK THEIR ASS OFF THE BOARD,

Ban their IP. Do an IP lookup, if they are using a dial-up then ban that whole range of IPs (XXX.XXX.XXX.000 - XXX.XXX.XXX.255). The chances of some other "good" member being boorted in the process are very very slim.

I tried that last night and for each one I took care of 2 more popped up becuse of me locking the thread in question. So how do we handle that?

Kick their asses off. Period.

 

[RoNiN]

It's a free country however there alot of stupid questions and posts that are a waste of time , I say let's just sweep the board and smoke the riff raff every week. I don't mind newbies but we should at least limit the no. of posts they can have a month or something.

 

[Riker29]

The sad irony of this thread is the fact that various "other" boards are bing mentioned which are a bit more on-topic, more civil, etc.

And becuase of theuir exposure in this thread, a bunch of newbie kids and idiots with no sesne of proper behaviour will sign up on thoise and ruin them as well.

As a lowly MOD, I dont have that power.

 

[BigAndy69]

I've been on this board a long time and I've seen these types of posts over and over again...one solution: No more post count.

Eliminate the post count. I'm tired of these 18-19 year old who've been here 3 months and have 5000posts. The sad part is that they truly beleive they are vets.

 

[GARAGE GORILLA]

I have been on this board for some time now and I have seen the gradual decline of worthwile posts. I honestly don't care about the stupid questions and all of the flames, I just ignore the bullshit and pick and choose what I want to read. The downside of the mods having to to babysit is that they get tired of the bullshit and don't post at all. I think it is a damn shame that guys like Zyg, Andy13, and Huck to name a few have to waste time moving and locking threads when they have so much more they can contribute to the board. I say ignore all of the immature assholes, don't answer there stupid repeatative questions and never lower yourself to a flame war. Let these guys share their knowledge rather than babysitting these whining bitches.
We are all part of the same brotherhood and we are here to learn and share info and engage in mature anabolic discussion so lets do that.

I hear you. Let me make clear that I think that we as board users bare the most responsibility for the content of these boards. We cannot expect the mods to spend every second they have on here just cleaning up other peoples garbage.

On the other hand, check this out. "Moderated by: chesty, Fonz, maxellyz, MUSTANG_18, 2Thick, Andy13, Big Buck, BigPapaPump, bikinimom, cockdezl, conan69, danielson, E2, el cubano, Genome, HUCKLEBERRY FINNaplex, macrophage69alpha, MattTheSkywalker, Mr H, panerai, Quadsweep, quenepo, Slopain, Texas Guns, The Ranger, TxLonghorn, WarLobo, WCP, Zyglamail"

What is that, 29 mods for this board alone? I know that you guys have a life outside of this board. But honestly, how many of those names above actualy police the board for crap and delete it as they find it - ever?

I'm sure that there are some real gems that we never see. My mom used to come home and compain about the messy house. I'd have to tell her "oh yeah? You should'a seen it before I cleaned it up!"

The content here is never going to fit each persons criteria of perfect, but it is each one of our responsibilities to contribute to the good on refuse to contributer to the bad.

I just want to make a few points:

5. Ultimately the people who can most benefit from this forum are people who know little about steroids. So newbie questions, and what might appear silly ideas to someone with knowledge, are important.

6. You don't have to open a thread, just ignore it.

btw, For those complaining about threads being in the wrong forum, this thread is not a discussion of anabolics either.

All excellent points and I agree with all of them. But I especially agree with the two above. The repeated newbie questions sometimes get tiresome but there are others that truly value our help.

In regards to point #6. LOL This is what it ALL boils down to. Everyone here complains about the off topic discussion but if you look at the post counts on these threads they are higher than any other. So all of the "get this shit off the AS boards", "we don't care about your girlfriends problems" only helps to bump the thread.

Off topic threads are like car wrecks; everyone has to stop and see how bad it is. It's human nature. If you see a thread labeled "problem with my gf", etc then DON'T CLICK ON IT!

 

[tyguy]

My 2 cents....... hopefully worth more than a dollar.


Ok, we do have problems. At times I like to throw a sarcastic comments in on here. But I will say there should be some action........ some may agree some may disagree... if George is against banning members he cannot deny that the idea of doing what all our parents did after beating our asses when we were kids, and then would ground us, restrict us, send us to our room. That is what the board has almost come to, it's users being little kids.... maybe that is what should happen. Mods should have the power to restrict a member from the board for a week, than 2 weeks, than a month, than for good.

If you want a quality board............... then we have to make sacrifices.

BS.

I am sick of "working around" idiots that don't use the board for what its meant for.

The fact is that these dumbass threads slow the board down, get in the way, and generally lessen the quality of the board in relation to its REAL purpose ...... and if you want to know its real purpose, read the title. Its the Anabolic Board

And the last time I checked, the title is not the "Whiners who don't know how to handle their girlfriends Board" or "Idiots who get in bar fights Board". Or "People whose dog is sick Board".

Yes, I have a heart. Yes, I know shit happens in people's lives, I DO couseling, hypnotherapy, general therapy, I KNOW the crap the people go through, but this is not the place.

Toss 'em

Kick 'em

Ban 'em

Saying "ignore the threads" is like ......... lets say you go to a Strip Club called "Dream Girls". And you sit down, and 40% of the time, a MAN is on the stage! Is the solution "hey just dont pay attention to the stage or dont give them tips when a man is dancing"?

Sound ridiculous doesn't it? After all the club is called Dream GIRLs - isnt that what you expect? Girls?

Well? Why is this any different?

If a strip club had dudes dance 40% of the time, how long do youy think that the paying male clientele would stick around - huh?

And you WONDER why we lose guys with years of expertise, or why they hardly ever post.

 

[Fener]

damned Ultragainz, waht are you on, halo? j/k i think you're preatty right, situation here has gone a little down

 

[robsatx]

Karma your way!

Its true, however it is inevitable with the number of people that visit this board each day that we have threads and posts that we feel do not belong here. I dont think, however, that banning people is justifiable when they ask questions, even if the questions have been answered a hundred times over, because that is what the board is made for, correct?

The flaming is another story. There is a difference between saying "please do a search" and "do a fuckin search you fuckin cocksucker moron, this question has been answered a thousand fuckin times" etc. In my opinion those are the people who make this board go downhill more than any others.

I agree - some of the guys are jerks. They could answer the same question someone answered for them before they knew "EVERYTHING" about juice.
Flipside:
I like this board it is very helpful. Anyone getting paid? How much do you pay the mods? shut up and live with it!

Look at the fucking loser who posted about having a porno shoot and wanting advice about penis injections. That is fucking rediculous. And there is 3 pages of replies.
I am posting here less and less. Slowly this is evolving into a piece of shit.

Stop bitching and go flame someone.

Yup.

That thread should have been deleted, or better yet, locked.

A mod sees it, writes the final reply of ...

"Off-topic. Being locked now. Stop this crap or risk being booted from the board."

And then locks the thread.

The locked thread makes its way down the page, with each of the liitle chumps who wrote/replied to it being able to see WHY it was locked ..... and slowly but surely, the board gets better.

 

[bigkraut]

30,000. Isn't that the number of members this site has? With that number of people, you're looking at a bunch of different personalities, skill, experience, and maturity levels. You're going to get repetitive questions, bad questions, silly questions, people acting silly, people getting into conflicts, people who either do not know about the search engine, don't have the wit to use the search engine, or who are simply too lazy to use the search engine. Hell, some probably don't know what a search engine is. This goes with the territory when you're host to the biggest online community for this "culture" in the entire world. You also have alot of smart people here who contribute a tremendous amount of their time and energy as well as their knowledge for the cause of helping others. Those helpful folks should be the focus of your attention. Those are the ones you need to think about when assessing the value of this board and the quality of it's content. You should also remember that this board is ran by a world class group of mods. That in itself makes this place worth coming to. Just ignore those things and the people you don't like. Pay them no mind. Instead, direct your attention and your input where you feel it's most appropriate. Don't let the non-sense bother you.

Remember as well, the mods are here to enforce the rules, not act as censors. I'm sure they hate the "can I drink winny" threads as much as anybody. It's just not there job to suppress these questions just because they may be stupid, inappropriate, silly, or whatever. Provided no rules are broken, people are pretty much free to ask whatever. Remember that in some of these cases the people asking s of those dumb questions really don't know the answer and have no idea how to get the answers from the search engine. Maybe a search engine tutorial should be sent to all members.
